Oxoid Netilmicin 30 µg Antimicrobial Susceptibility Discs

Oxoid™ Netilmicin 30 µg Antimicrobial Susceptibility Discs

Product Overview

Oxoid™ Netilmicin 30 µg Antimicrobial Susceptibility Discs are designed for antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) in clinical, hospital, and research microbiology laboratories. These discs are used in the disc diffusion method to evaluate bacterial susceptibility to Netilmicin, an aminoglycoside antibiotic.

Netilmicin is effective against a broad range of Gram-negative bacteria and some Gram-positive bacteria, making it suitable for treating serious infections such as sepsis, respiratory tract infections, urinary tract infections, and intra-abdominal infections. Oxoid Netilmicin discs allow laboratories to classify bacterial isolates as susceptible, intermediate, or resistant, supporting precise antimicrobial therapy decisions.

Key Features

• Standardized Antibiotic Potency: Each disc contains 30 µg of Netilmicin for accurate and reproducible testing.

• Designed for Disc Diffusion AST: Suitable for routine antimicrobial susceptibility testing in microbiology laboratories.

• Convenient Cartridge Format: Supplied in spring-loaded cartridges for safe and controlled dispensing.

• Moisture-Protected Packaging: Individually sealed cartridges with desiccant maintain disc stability and potency.

• High-Quality Manufacturing: Produced by Thermo Fisher Scientific under strict quality control standards.

Applications

Oxoid Netilmicin 30 µg discs are used for:

• Routine in vitro antimicrobial susceptibility testing

• Clinical microbiology laboratories

• Hospital diagnostic laboratories

• Pharmaceutical and research laboratories

• Public health and epidemiology laboratories

The disc diffusion method allows microbiologists to measure zones of inhibition, helping detect bacterial sensitivity and identify resistant strains.
